Maharashtra's Marathi mandate, plea for a memorial, and India's SHG scheme

from 3 Things · host Express Audio

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Nayonika Bose about Maharashtra’s new Marathi language requirement for taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers, and how thousands of migrant workers in Mumbai are balancing long shifts with language classes to keep their permits.Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Aditi Raja about the debate over how the Ahmedabad Air India crash site should be remembered, after the Gujarat government announced plans to redevelop the damaged BJ Medical College hostel blocks while families of victims seek a memorial at the site. (13:00)And in the end, we look at a government-commissioned review of the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM), which found that funds intended to help rural women start small businesses were often diverted toward immediate household expenses instead.
